Common mistakes.

  • B. A web portal is typically an interface for user login where an OTP might be entered, but it is not a method for FortiGate to send an OTP to the user.
  • D. While a USB token can be a form of hardware security key, FortiGate's proprietary OTP system primarily supports FortiToken hardware and software, not generic USB tokens for OTP generation.
